Mod: New Horse: Nightmare!

Users who are viewing this thread

Alright, so after some mucking around I've figured out how to add new horses. I decided the game needed an all black horse, so I retextured the Courser.

Note to modders: I'm not sure about this, but when you add an item in item_kinds.txt, does its position in the file denote how rare it is for showing up in shops?
Note: As always, it will take slightly longer to load the first time after installing the mod, but I've not seen any slowdowns in game or with loading after the first time. Make sure to back up your original files. This mod ADDS the Nightmare horse, and does not replace any other in game horses.

1) About the Mod

This mod adds a new horse, the Nightmare, to Mount & Blade, by the Taleworlds team (www.taleworlds.com).

2) Installation

There should be 6 files in the package, as follows:

nightmare.dds

horse_meshes.rsf
materials.rsf

To install, simply copy all of the .dds files into the Textures folder (commonly C:Program FilesMount&BladeTextures)
Copy the .rsf files to the CommonRes folder (C:Program FilesMount&BladeCommonRes)

Soon I'll add Eagle's cataphract horse. I know someone will probably have a problem with the red eyes. I might upload a version that has normal eyes, but don't hold me to that.
 
Wow, great work with that! I will give it a go when I get back home. You dont mind if I change its stats for my own personal use do you? Thanks for making this.

Glad you like it :grin: As soon as it hits your computer, I don't care if you add a pink dress to it :smile: I was thinking about giving it different stats than the courser, but decided to upload as is. If there's enough demand I'll change it and re-upload it.
 
Nah, I like tyhe red eyes. Even though they look magicerish (yes, that's a word), I still like 'em. The contrast is also bigger between the eyes and the black body this way. <insert thumbs-up smiley here>
 
Cool, thanks. I will probably make it heaps expensive but god-like in power. I might make more horses now that we know you can add new ones, just to add variety. Hopefully I can figure out how to give this new nightmare horse to the black riders :twisted:

Code:
dark_knight dark_knight dark_knight 1024 0 240 5
  141 0 124 0 125 0 110 0 135 0 165 0 162 0 165 0 164 0 73 0 50 0 93 0 94 0 31 0 35 0

If you want to give the dark_knight the Nightmare, replace the 35 (last number before the last zeo) in troops.txt with 191. The numbers are the 0-based indices of the items in item_kind1.txt. If you want dark_hunters to have it as well, find the 35 0 entry for them and change it to 191 0 as well(though I don't think that guarantees that they'll have that particular horse).
 
Thanks, for that. I'm home now so I will give it a go after I have done my work. This will surely make the dark knights look more fearsome. Cant wait to try it.

The way I changed the horse texture to black was to invert then use the dodge tool. Since the tail was more cream colored than white, it has some blue to it. I personally don't mind, I think it looks cool. If there's demand, I'll upload a version with normal eyes and a black tail.

Yes, please do upload the version with real eyes and black tail....

On a side note, I would like to see this new horse available for the Dark Knights/Hunters only, not available for sale from the merchants. That way, the only way to get one would be to fight lots of the Darks and hope that you capture one. One could then make a story that the horses are specially bred by the Darks and one of the merchant quests could be to capture and bring him a 'Nightmare' horse. This would be cool...

after installing , i get an error loading "get object failed: manface_scar"

HELP!
 
Oh right, whoops. I forgot that I modded the files that have the FaceMod as well. Sorry about that. You'll need to download the FaceMod and grab the textures as well as face_gen.txt. I'll make sure to fix that later tonight.

Note: Make sure to use the .rsf files from the NightMod
 
Hey, how would you modify the nightmare to be faster and have more hitpoints? say the speed of a spirited courser and the armour of a charger?
